A BAD Parrot Reformed.

John II. Arnold, OF Ballston, n. Y, has
curiosity in the shape of parrot. Some
time ago it was noticed that the bird
would try and follow Mr.. Arnold's little
girl when she said the Lords Prayer on
retiring at night. The bird has kept on
from night to night, until he can repeat
the whole prayer. Some evenings he will
repeat II several times. But at no other
time OF the day is ii possible to get him to
repeat it, and no one can induce him TO re-
peat It more than once in the evening but
Mr.. Arnold's daughter. We are informed
that the parrot used to be very profane,
but lately he has given up the habit of
using oaths.

CONSUMPTION, Wasting Diseases, and
General Debility. Doctors disagree as TO
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and
Hypophosphites; the one supplying strength
and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and
acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire
system. But in SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are
combined, and the effect is wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations have been
cured by this. Scott's Emulsion is perfect
ly palatable and is easily digested by those
who can not tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil.

cerning Popular Ballads.
Popular songs are often queer. So
are their authors. But stranger still is
the secret governing the public taste,
by which some compositions are taken
up and others rejected. Not per
cent. of the songs annually issued have
a spark of originality about them. In
this country the dozen or so publishers
issue annually about Is, 900 editions of
songs. of between l6, 900, 600 and 90
600, 900 of copies. This, added TO the
reprints of English and foreign songs,
means fully thirty copies daily per cap
ita to every teacher of music in the
land. Yet out of this vast number
there is not one song in 500 that
reaches popular sale of 5000 copies.
and less than one-tenth as many that
exceed an issue of 100000 copies. Here
are the sales of few well-known

One very marked feature of the Bible Ia
its perennial freshness No other book can
begin to compare with it in this respect
There are books tinctureG with the spirit
and principles of the Bible which have been
repeatedly read with something of fresh
interest in their later peruslls, yet it was
necessary that there should be lengthy in
tervals between the readings in order TO
realize any sensible degree of freshness in
them. But 1t is not SO with the Bible Ona
who has any tine love for the Bible may
read a chapter upon certain day OF the
week, and when he reads the same chapter
q week from that day it appears
as fresh as ever. Nay, let him read
the same chapter the next day. and
If he be not a superficial reader he win
come upon thoughts and views of doctrine
which spring up from spiritual depths that
really surprise him with their vigorous and
inspiring freshness II IS said Of the
learned LeClerc, that, while he was COM
piling his Harmony" he was so struck
with admiration of the excellent discourses
OF Jesus, and so fred with the love of His
most holy doctrines that he thought he had
Just begun to get acquainted with what he
scarcely ever left out of his hands from
infancy. 1t is also related of DR. Ken
nicott that, during the time when 10 was
employed on his Polyglot Bible, it was
the constant work OF bis wife in their
daily airings to read TO him those different
parts to which his immediate attention
was called The day after his great work
was finished, when preparing for their ride,
upon asking him what book she should take,
he exclaimed: "0h, let us begin the Biblel"

Regarding the evil effects Of using to-
baoco physician writes in the Science Of
Heath: 1t impairs the nervous functions,
rendering the person more excitable,
moro irritable, and subject to : long
train ID nervous nfYections.% 1t impairs the
nervous corastifution and transmits these
impaired constitutions to children. Such
chisdrsn are feeble, oxcitable and liable
to b. cut of by any serious disease. Often
they do not thrive well. are stunted In
growth, and do not attain the the stature
1t sthesr parents before them. II they
s1kyup tbe habit OF tobacco-using early
III life, ax very likely they will, their
growth will be still moro interfered With,
Ane they will present curious spectacle
az Tho lineaments of old age mingled with
the features OF youth
Already noticeable diminution OF the
stature OF our people Is observable. The
general average of height is less each gem
eration. Men Of full six feet in stature arc
far less common In proportion to the num-
tey of inhabitants than they were thirty
or Atty years ago. A like falling of in
height is observable among the females.
Aa,ong other causes tobacco- using by the
,,Arents, often continaed from early
youth, is prominent cause. 1t il cause
that is powerfully working the degeneracy
Of the vital powers and arresting develop
ment.
This habit also exerts an inflence over
the brain as we'll as over the nerves. II
obscures the perception and deadens the
sensibility. Tobacco-using students make
less advancement than others in their
studies.
The permanent impairment Of the intel
Isctual powers will be proportionate to thu
degree OF Indulgence and it's duration. Il
continued through several generations
there can but result mental degeneracy,
Its excessive use impairs all the bodily
organs, arresting development and enfee-
bling the natural powers, and its direct
tendency is to produce degeneracy Of the
race. Already it's work has begun; and II
not desisted from it will complete its work
and ultimately leave a race OF driveling
idiots. He who loves his fellow-man, lot
him raise his voice against this practice.
